"It's you who are going to town, where everything is more expensive," said Uncle Erba, "so your Aunt Erba and I have prepared some silver for you to take with you."
Speaking, Aunt Erba took out a small red cloth pouch and handed it to Su Yunjin, saying, "Yunjin girl, this is from your aunt."
Seeing this, Su Yunjin quickly demurred.
Chen Jie also tried to refuse, saying, "Uncle Erba, this is the hard-earned money that you and Aunt Erba have saved. I can't take it, I just can't..."
"Jiu Si, I don't have much," insisted Uncle Erba. "Just use it for travel expenses. It's said that a poor family should have rich roads. You'll need money for everything in town, so you can't let yourself be laughed at for being penniless. Take it, and you can pay me back after you earn some silver in town..."
Uncle Erba was adamant about giving the money.
Chen Jie truly couldn't accept it. He could take Wu Zhong's money because, as Fishery Manager, Wu had many ways to make money.
